Frequently Asked Questions in Raleigh, NC

What size is a standard portable toilet?

A standard unit measures about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and stands roughly 92 inches tall. That footprint fits most job sites without taking over an entire corner. The holding tank inside holds 60 to 70 gallons, which means a unit serves 5 to 10 workers comfortably over a 40 hour week. If your Raleigh project runs longer or has more users, two units cost less than constant service calls to a single struggling toilet. See our guide on how many porta potties do I need for the math. We offer standard porta potty rental across the city, and we also rent deluxe flushable models with hand sanitizer and amenities.

How often do portable toilets need service?

A standard unit serving up to 10 users over a 40 hour week gets serviced once per week as the baseline interval. More users or longer weeks mean more frequent visits. Emergency calls happen. Raleigh Porta Pros schedules regular service on a schedule that fits your rental duration and usage, or we respond same-day if something breaks. We pump the tank, replace the toilet paper and soap, and disinfect the interior. If you're renting a deluxe flushable porta potty, that service keeps the flush mechanism working and the tank clear.

What does OSHA say about portable toilets on construction sites?

OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) requires 1 toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer; 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 40 workers from 20 up; and 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 50 workers at 200 or more. Most Raleigh construction sites fall into that first bracket. You'll also need potable water on site per OSHA 1926.51(a)(1). If your crew is applying paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires handwashing facilities with soap. We rent handwashing stations that meet that rule. Download our OSHA portable toilet requirements guide for the full breakdown.

Do you rent dumpsters and restroom trailers?

Yes. We rent roll-off dumpster rental in 10, 20, 30 and 40 yard sizes for construction debris, home renovation and yard waste. A roll-off delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, so confirm your Raleigh property has that space before you book. We also rent restroom trailers in 2, 4 and 8 stall configurations for events that need more than portable toilets can handle. Shower trailer rental is available too for long-term job sites and disaster relief.

How much does a portable toilet rental cost per day in Raleigh?

Daily rates for a standard unit fall between 150 and 350 dollars, depending on placement, duration and service frequency. Porta potty rental per day in Raleigh costs less when you commit to a full week or month. Call for a quote on your exact job.

What's the difference between a standard and an ADA accessible unit?

An ADA accessible porta potty has a wider door (32 inches minimum clear opening per ADA Standards 404.2.3), interior grab bars, a lowered toilet seat, and 36 inch minimum clear width per ADA Standards 403.5.1. At clusters of five or more units, ADA Standards 213.2 requires at least one to be accessible. We stock both types across Raleigh.

Can I rent a storage container for my construction project?

Yes. We rent storage containers in 20 foot and 40 foot lengths for tools, materials and equipment. Monthly rental runs between 100 and 250 dollars. They're weatherproof and lockable, and we deliver and pick up on your schedule.

Do you service septic tanks?

We pump residential septic tanks, which are typically pumped every 3 to 5 years depending on tank size and household size. We also handle grease trap pumping for restaurants and commercial kitchens in Raleigh. Call for septic tank pumping cost and availability.

What about temporary fencing for a job site?

We rent temporary fence by the linear foot for construction barriers, crowd control and site protection. Raleigh contractors use it to secure material storage areas and keep pedestrians clear of equipment. Call with your square footage and we'll quote the length you need.
